I think common issue is acquisitions and poor changelogs. a software is created, usually specific case, then tweaked for other use cases, by some nerd. eventually the software gets popular and the nerd sells it, it may get bought or sold a few times, going through the hands of multiple Devs. nobody actually documents anything, so one devs enhancement creates anothers bug. powercode is a prime example of this
